MAP28: Galut (Pesha)

MAP28: Galut is the first map of Pesha. It was designed by Darryl Steffen (dobu gabu maru), and uses the MIDI composition "Field of Wind" by Aaron Walz.

The map serves as an atmospheric introduction to the remaining two levels, and contains almost no combat or puzzles, instead serving as a short, visual-oriented vignette. It focuses on the protagonist's journey from his home to the tower of Babel.

The title is Hebrew, and means "diaspora".

Essentials

Enter the room at the end of the corridor and press the switch hidden within the painting over the bed. Head down the bookcase passage until you come to a cave with several crates inside; at the far end of the room is a lift activated by a switch. Head up the lift and walk onto the boat.
